“ Something quite unexpected has happened. It came this morning early.  For various reasons, not in themselves at all mysterious, my heart was lighter than it had been for many weeks... And suddenly, at the very moment when so far, I mourned [her] least, I remembered her best. ”

“Indeed it was something [almost] better than memory; an instantaneous, unanswerable impression. To say it was like a meeting would be going too far. Yet there was that in it which tempts one to use those words. It was as though the lighting of the sorrow removed a barrier.”
